This seems a bit tricky to me...but then again everything does.

This is for an x with a square set-up.

If I am not mistaken the left front needs to go on the right rear. The left rear then needs to move up to the left front. The right front then goes on the left rear. The right front goes on the right rear.

So how does one accomplish this with a floor Jack and two Jack stands. Cause it has me wondering.

Or do you have a better plan?

Help and ideas would be great.

Make use of the spare tire.

Oh and get two more jack stands for future use lol.

 

Looks like I am back to Harbor Freight again...

 

2 jacks 2 stands

works everytime

 

Done. Now I have four three ton Jack stands.

Plus got the sexy little rubber things that go on top to protect....I don't know....whatever they're suppose to protect...things on the underside and sills I guess.

Thanks,
Sean

 

Pinch welds, haha. I use a slotted hockey puck but its been getting more and more warped by jacking over a year so I may have to retire it soon for safety reasons.

 

GAH! I have to find jack stands with flat heads on them. Every one I see is made to go under an axle

 

Wait, I thought on an X you can only do front to back? No crossing.

 

Now I'm not sure. I got this from Tire Rack:



Four (4) Tire Rotation
What tire rotation pattern should be followed? The Tire & Rim Association has identified three traditional rotation patterns covering most vehicles (equipped with non-directional tires and wheels which are the same size and offset). The first being the "Rearward Cross" (Figure A) rear and AWD; the second being the "Forward Cross" (Figure C) rear and AWD and the third is the "X-Pattern" (Figure B) front-wheel drive. The X-Pattern can be used as an alternative to A or C

Well I did some research myself now. It really depends on the tires and wheels you are running. Basically if there is no arrow on the outside of the tire to state that its a directional tire then you can cross. Neither of the OEM X tires 17" or 18" are directional so why does the manual state only to do front to back?

This is the link that cleared it up for me.
